[LakelandARC] Antenna help

[J Leahy]

Steve,

The Pasco County Ares put one of those together in September and it had high SWR.  An expert on the A270-10 took a look and saw that the feeds were on the wrong sides, he claimed it made a big difference and it sure did.  I can’t remember if the assembly’s photos were incorrect or if it was the one on the front but they are not the same.

If you need a parachute and don't have one you probably won't need one again..
